'Picture in Focus': introduction

Use Titian's painting 'Diana and Actaeon' to stimulate work across the curriculum

Our 'Picture in Focus' painting, Titian's Diana and Actaeon, is packed full of themes to engage your students and kick start projects throughout the curriculum, from drama to geography.

As your class explores the painting through different subjects, it can lead to deeper learning, as students make connections between topics. Take advantage of our InSET training, e-resources and facilitated Gallery visits for your students.

Keep in touch

Tell us your plans for connecting with Picture in Focus. Send us an email and we'll send you a free poster of Titian's 'Diana and Actaeon'.

Teacher training

We offer InSET sessions on ‘How to make Old Masters new’ which can support the delivery of Picture in Focus in secondary schools.

InSET sessions can give teachers an art historical and thematic context to Titian's 'Diana and Actaeon' and are designed specifically for innovative cross-curricular learning in secondary schools.

Arrange a school visit

Spark students’ creativity with a visit to the National Gallery to see Titian's masterpieces, including 'Diana and Actaeon' in the permanent collection. Gallery Educators will engage your students with an interactive session in the Gallery and draw on themes of your choice to support your delivery of the project.
